The interesting fact was developed at the
recent Knights Of Labor meeting in Minne-
apOlis, that during the last Maine political
campaign, one Hayes of New Jersey came
into this district with about $4,000 Of K. of
L. funds to be used in the fight against Tom
Reed for Congress. Possibly the ghost of
Uncle Sam Tilden informed this emissary of
"down.trodden labor" that it requires deal
of doodle" to ''snow-under" our popular
and brainy congressman, and that in such a
venture $4,000 would be scarcely flea bite.

BUSINESS was established in 1870,
under the present title.
Mr.. VIM. NJ. Powell was born on the
Eastern Shore of Virginia. His early
business education was received in a
country store, than which no more eff
Sective school could be desired in
which to acquire thorough knowledge
Of the many details of the business,
and more especially for becoming pro-
tlclent in the duties Of salesman. He
came to Baltimore in the early days of
the war, and connected himself with
one OF the prominent grocery houses
until he established the present bust
ness, since which he has secured the
full confidence Of the mercantile COM
nunity, and while attending strictly
to his own business, he has been called
upon to fill positions ofhonor and trust,
among them being that of director of
the Bank of Commerce. No house is
better known throughout the South,
and Mr.. Powell has become personally
acquainted with the great majority of
dealers doing business in that extended
and ever developing territory.

FUNNY THINGS OF THE WAR.
Queer Freaks Taken by Men on ths
 March-Csrrying a Looking Gl...


 There were lots of funny things abou, the war, ' said Col. Frederick Martin oi the Brooklyn Elevated the other dav ''now that you think of them when inc tears are dried away, and about the fun. niest things l recall were the queer arti. cleS the boys used to pick up on the march and the eccentric way in which tbeyid tote 'em along to finally adorn some ditch by the wayside. Stragglers were the worst at this, but all the fellows were had enough. Whenever the army went through first family residence the boys would capture what struck each as most attractive, and some of their tastes were peculiar. They had a great weakness for cradles. You may ask me what A man treading his way to the front wanted with a mahogany cradle, and I'm blest if I know, but they took 'em. First one man would back cradle and cart it a dozen miles; then he'd begin to cuss and finally drop it.
 Now you'd suppose that any ordinary idiot would just look at a cradle as it lay in the road and pass on, but they wouldn't {. Some one would be certain to pick it up and lug it few miles further into the Con federcy.
 .'I recall one cradle that travelled 100 miles on blue backs before it went to in crease the blaze of a mess fire Somehow they seemed to think vaguely that there was chance of getting the infant sOother home, but they never succeeded.
 "The funniest thing l ever saw carried was a looking glass high as your head and two feet wide. l saw il first in the parlor Of a central Nirginian mansion and next on a soldiers back headed for Peters burg. Then lost sight of it for two days and found it again propped up against tree forty miles further along. The next day l saw it travelling teEderly on a strag- gler's back. He had his gun in one hand and had somehow strapped the glass so that he could get along without holding fast to it.
 Well, this fellow must have got tired, for the next day third man had it and the next fourth. This chap tOted it on to the lines at Petersburg. He set it up against tree, took a long, regretful look at full length of his shabby self and turned away with sigh.
 It was just as well that he did The next minute along came a mimic bullet, buZZing like a hornet, and hit the glass square in the center and smashed it into frame full of cracks radiating from around the hole.
 The heavier and the more useless things were the more they chung to them, even combining 10 escort pianos into untimely graves in mud holes; but the man who could steal rocking chair was a white robbed angel in his own mind and the ob- ject of universal envy.
 Another funny thing was to have the sutler strike the camp lotded with con densed milk. I've seen a whole regiment sitting on a fence, each man with a milk can in one hand dipping out the thick white stuff with his forefnger and licking it off with an expression of beatitude that would make Raphaelite saint look sick in comparison.
